v . i lwaillnl m- - M , -P , Beginning the season with eight returning letterf men and an ahundance of reserve material, Coach Nlurphy fashioned a team which showed its valor in every game. Although not enjoying an ideal season, the team represented a decided improvement over those of very recent seasons. After heating three of their nonfeonference rivals they continued through the season, fighting each game to the finish and makf ing up in determination what they lacked in scoring power. Although the hoys lost many close games their opponents always found it a more than difficult task to cross our goal line. Those awarded letters were: Newell Sapp, W'ilf son Huston, Charles Bartlett, Ivan Cooper, Vxfoodf row Cheesman, Laverne Duncan, Donald O'Harra, Howard Dunhar, Louis Doran, john Moon, john Helms, Leonard Sowers, Laverne Nichols, and Tom Brown. The lettermen elected, as honorary cofcaptains for the season, Newell Sapp and Laverne Duncan. FOOTBALL Macomh Rushville L........,,....
